Agency, dea, to try to get scheduled narcotics on to electronic prescribing. And after years of bureaucratic battle, finally the regulations came out. I think that facilitates via electronic prescribing Prescription Drug monitoring, when you no longer have to go and ask for the paper scripts from individual doctors or from individual pharmacies, you can look at a database and you can see, wait a minute this, fellow is a podiatrist. Why are they prescribing oxycodo oxycodone . They prescribed 500 capsules last month and now theyre prescribing 5,000. Wait a minute. This person has gone to five doctors in five pharmacies for the same prescription. Whats going on . It opens investigatory doors. And yet, years later, its now electronic prescribing for all this stuff.

Reproduce that number during the year. So beekeeping is a totally different thing now. There are number of things that are threatening them. Its not because simply they are just die. We have to think about the production and reproduction of the population and what has changed about beekeeping. It is different than managing. Keeping it going, we do more and more managing the deaths of our bees. Im not worried about the Bee Population disappearing, not unless the beekeepers do, which is very possible. Only about 80 of the bees in this country are basically managed by about 1200 beekeepers. I would say 50 of those have massive beekeeping operations. It will keep new people coming into it as long as they can make a profit off of it, and we will manage the debts the same way we manage cattle. Now the modern be has a shorter lifespan, more parasites, more viruses, more bacterial infections and colonies living shorter lines like send any time and aviary history.

Thank you very much, and thank you very much for everyone showing up this afternoon. Those were very generous comments and i am honored to be here today. At the stimson center, an institution named for and inspired by a man who helps guide the nation through some of the most difficult challenges that we have ever faced. And an organization that i remember calling upon for guidance and assistance on many occasions particularly when i was working for sam nun who i had the pleasure to work with for about 17 years. And i remember spending at the old office north of Dupont Circle many a day talking to bury and mike and the team of experts on proliferation issues, loose nukes, chemical and biological warfare issues. So its a Great Institution and its an honor to come back here.

A lesson in school. That will also help the process move faster. Ok. Thank you. Ok. Thank you. I think we have worked extensively with community groups, all of that, but one of the things on the other side of this is, from all the voter Interest Groups, political parties, media outlets, blogosphere bloggers now before we get to the next round of elections, tried to work out something so we can get the Accurate Information out to your voters. That is the goal of the Election Officials, get them all the information they need. One of the most significant problems was unusual reports that were inaccurate that had this Ripple Effect throughout the county that caused huge problems throughout the election.
